Jeep-parent Stellantis is temporarily halting production at its auto assembly factories in Mexico and Canada, a day after the Trump administration's new tariffs on vehicle imports went into effect.
The European-based automaker, which also owns Chrysler, Dodge and Ram, plans to idle its minivan plant in Windsor, Canada for two weeks and another Jeep facility in Toluca, Mexico for the rest of April, according to an email sent Thursday by Stellantis's North American chief, Antonio Filosa.
Those factories make the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and Jeep Compass SUV, which are sold in the U.S.
The actions could impact employees working at U.S. parts-making facilities that supply components to the two assembly operations, Filosa said in his email, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The decision is expected to affect about 900 stateside employees at those auto parts makers, a spokeswoman said.
"With the new automotive sector tariffs now in effect, it will take our collective resilience and discipline to push through this challenging time," Filosa said. "But we will quickly adapt to these policy changes and will protect our company, maintain our competitive edge and continue delivering great products to our customers."
